hello,
I'm running two separate x-screens, set up with nivdia x-server settings. First screen being my monitor and the second my tv.
I had twinview before, but with that any video brought to fullscreen on the tv would pop up on my monitor instead of the tv, so i switched to two separate screens.
My problem: There is a general delay with everything now. It takes ~1 second when I hover over a menu tree for the sub-menu to pop up, 1 second before the context-menu appears after clicking the rm-button etc.
I googled, and in this thread (http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4110678), blaming compiz for the delay, they came up with this script
#!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz --only-current-screen &
DISPLAY=:0.1 compiz --only-current-screen &
It does work (even though I'm certain there is still a wee delay), but as far as I understood that script, compiz is still running on both screens, also, I wish I could get a workaround without having to run a script each login.
So basically, my preferred solution would be to be able to get twinview to work with full screen on the second screen (cause I like that the second screen has no panels and buttons).
If that doesn't work, is it possible with separate screens to disable compiz entirely for the second screen, maybe without a script at startup?
Or is there a even better solution to all that, that I haven't considered yet?
Thanks
hachel
